[QUOTE="muleyman, post: 420549, member: 11540"] For what it's worth, I went through the same thing with my Rem 280 Ack. I tried just about everything under the sun and by far the most consistent powder was the 4831sc. My rifle for sum reason just would not group the accubonds so I finally gave up on them. They would group in around .75 to an even inch but I knew both myself and gun were capable of more. I finally gave 150gr Barnes TTSX's a try and they consistently grouped at or under .5". Then I used Hornady Amax's and would get the groups the accubonds were shooting at 300 yds. The point of impact for the ttsx's is so close to the amax's at 300, I just shoot those at critters to that distance just to be safe, (I did shoot a deer last year at 180 with the amax and it did just fine though). I believe my load turned out to be 59gr for the amax and 60.5 for the barnes. I'm sure I could go substantially higher but the accuracy is there so I stopped. I'm also using the nosler brass but with winchester primers. Hope this helped........... [/QUOTE]
